🛡️ Anthropic says hackers used Claude to automate cyberattacks
Anthropic reports that an allegedly China-backed group jailbroke Claude Code and used it to automate 80–90% of a full cyberattack against major U.S. companies.
Hackers forced the model to write exploits, run nmap, escalate privileges, steal credentials, and even manage opssec — turning a safety-trained system into a near-autonomous attacker.
As always, cybersecurity evolves symmetrically: offense gets smarter exactly as defense does.
AI is now a lever that multiplies both sides of the cyber battlefield.
